Today was another full day of work in the city!
I also finally got my credit card in the mail, so now I am able to buy food and stop mooching off of others here in Tel Aviv.
The day was long and hot as usual, but it is cool being able to be exposed to different parts of the city. Some are home to modest apartments that are holding on for dear life to stay intact. Others are multimillion dollar apartments that have full time security teams in place. Different walks of life, both socioeconomic and religious are melted together in this busy young town.
I definitely feel as if I am seeing the normal side of Israel that is not discussed in American news. They have homes and communities just like us. They help their neighbors and kiss their kids goodbye before a day of school. They are a devout and loyal people group that live day to day rather relaxed and calm, putting a special importance on the family and personal time. I think I can learn a lot from them!
